- The FBI is required to give to Trump an inventory of what was found in the search; if Trump claims he had no govt property in his home and this is a witch hunt, then he should release the search inventory. Time to put up or shut up......
- The Trump filings for a Special Master were a huge misstep. DOJ has used its response to disclose damning proof of a series of crimes, which it would not otherwise have been able to do. And one very compelling photo.
- Garland's words today shd be ringing in Cannon's ears: "The rule of law means that the law treats each of us alike: There is not one rule for friends, another for foes; one rule for the powerful, another for the powerless; a rule for the rich, another for the poor."
- This is what we in the legal world call a felony.This post is unavailable.
- As you read the NYT Trump tax story, remember the Eric Trump statement in 2014: "We don't rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia." Now ask to whom does Trump owe the hundreds of millions of dollars coming due soon?
- Should Trump be investigated and prosecuted when he is out of office? Yes. A president is not above the law. If he broke it before or during his presidency, he must face the consequences anyone else would. To do otherwise would set a precedent that he is above the law.
- Can anyone not understand now that this GA call, and the Ukraine call, are the tip of the Trump iceberg? More to come, surely.
- Time to put Roger Stone in the grand jury to find out what he knows about Trump but would not tell. Commutation can’t stop that.
- DOJ BIG PICTURE: you don’t make a filing this strong, bold, and factually accusatory if you don’t have every intention to indict.
- Dearie to Trump: you are the plaintiff, you have the burden of proof, you have set forth no evidence that the docs are not classified, whereas the govt has set out proof they are. So unless you overcome that proof, you are not getting classified docs returned to you. Case closed.
- What does Donald Trump have on Judge Cannon or her husband? Something is SO off in her decisions (and the court of appeals said as much) that it is impossible not to ask this question in all seriousness.
- The argument is wrong that we should not charge a former President or we will become a banana republic. We will BE a banana republic if we ignore an illegal coup by a former president.
